Romanian

Pronunciation

IPA(key): [va]

Etymology 1

Probably from the third-person singular present indicative of vrea(“to want”), used in its special conjugation as an auxiliary verb (cf. the first-person voi(“(I) will”), supposedly from Latin *voleo). An alternative etymology is that it began originally as the now rare word in etymology 2 below, from forms of Latin vādere(“to go”), and was confused with conjugated forms of voi / vrea in Romanian; compare voicânta ("I will sing") to the constructions in French jevaischanter and Spanish voyacantar with the same meaning (literally, "I go to sing")

Verb

(el/ea) va (modal auxiliary, third-person singular form ofvrea, used with infinitives to form future indicative tenses)

(he/she) will

va fi aici mai târziu?

will he/she be here later?

Etymology 2

From Latinvādit, third person singular present active indicative of vādō. It is also rarely used as a second person singular imperative form, meaning "go", from Latin vāde (and plural form vați from vāditis). 16th century Transylvanian documents also display respective variant forms vă and vareți.

Alternative forms

vă (rare)

Verb

va

(to go), only used in mai va (see usage notes).

(regional) go (imperative) (plural vați)

Usage notes

The conjugation for this verb is defective, with the only remaining form being va, used in the expression "mai va", meaning "it will take longer or there is more to go (until then)".

Synonyms

(to go):merge, duce

(go):du-te, duceți-vă
